This is such a great option for getting good food on the table fast. It is a perfect base for stews or even a chunky pasta sauce. And don't forget that it makes a wonderful cold salad with some dried apricots, diced cucumbers, scallions, maybe some cherry tomatoes and a light vinagrette. I've had a few riffs on that courtousy of Lydia and the Ninecooks in the past.

Scholli, welcome to The Perfect Pantry. I've been experimenting with couscous more often lately, too -- it takes so well to either sweet or savory flavorings. I love the larger Israeli couscous too -- have you tried it?

Scholli, the Israeli couscous is larger, more like the size of tapioca pearls. The texture is great with chunky-style salads (corn, tomatoes, vegetables, etc.). Hope you can find some locally; if not, let me know and I will be happy to send it to you.
